Organizing My Grocery Cabinet

[@OliviaWills-f5i]

Bless your heart you can still get down on the floor! You'd have to call a tow truck to pull me up! ❤

LOL!

Me too

Hi Granny, that cabinet held lot's of yummy goodies. That ground beef is a great thing to have on hand. I'm interested in what you decide to do with your spices, it will be nice for you to stay off that ladder. Happy organizing, have fun, we look forward to seeing the next cabinet. Have a wonderful Thursday stay safe and well always 🙏❤️

Good morning Granny from a cold and dark Scotland

[@richardselfridge2926]

I cleared out my cabinets last week because I found myself buying things I already have well stocked. I put my food in higher cabinets. If I had to clear out a floor level cabinet I may as well pack a lunch because with my "old man back" I'd be there for awhile😂. Cyber hugs for you and please a bug old hug for Mr. Gizmo😸❤🙏💕

Good morning from frosty New York. Enjoying your video with my coffee. It's weirdly interesting to see what other people have in their cabinets.

[@coffeecupconversations]

I know, like a fun treasure hunt! No 2 people are alike!

[@mikelobrien]

Nice stash! All that food can help you meet your low-spend grocery challenge this year. Rice from 2020? Time to cook it! 🙂

[@bhallmark3390]

Isn’t it funny how we tend to forget the items we purchase. I tried keeping a log of food items but I just couldn’t keep it current. So every once in a while, it’s good to check our shelves to reacquaint ourselves with what we have. The only “food” items I have in our cabinets is sugar and sugar substitutes, along with honey and baking supplies like baking powder and soda, flavoring extracts and a couple types of salt. When we moved into our house in 1987, someone who had lived here before us had built a nice big shelving unit along with shelves attached to the wall. That whole space has our ac/furnace in it and our washer and dryer. Every shelf is jam packed with the usual pantry items. I go through it occasionally and rotate items to the front that will expire earlier. It’s a chore!! This was an interesting video. I think we humans are curious and interested to see the types of things that others have in their pantries. 😉 Hope you have a great day! ❤-Brenda

[@pegsanders2807]

Those deep cabinets hold so much, don't they? I can't get down on the floor anymore (OK, I can get down, but there's no getting up, ha), so I got some pull-out bins on wheels so I can access everything--it's been a big help.

[@judyopp7485]

Hi Granny! Sharing a recipe from high school Home Ec class from 1970. Easy, cheap and good hot or even cold the next day. One of our favorites! Spanish Rice - 6 sl. Bacon fried, save grease to add 1 diced green pepper and onion to cook together until onion is clear & tender. Crumble bacon and add to skillet plus 3 cups cooked rice and one can diced tomatoes. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper...cover on low until flavors are blended. Yummy and filling. Thought you might want to try with all your rice....by the way...how do cabinets and freezers get out of order anyway? 🙃 You just inspired my to do list for tomorrow!

[@dorawedlock3969]

Thank you! My mom made the best Spanish Rice and I have never found a recipe that sounds right.

So glad you weren't hurt on the floor! You scared me! Be careful. If you stay in one position too long, you can compress your nerves, and it will be hard to get up. I love cavatini! ❤

I've done that a lot around here. Not related but this morning, my husband found our girl cat under the covers in her cat room bed. She's not dumb, she learned how to stay warm.

[@mj-hk6iv]

I'm 62 and have stopped putting food in the bottom cabinets. I've forgotten too many things and had a can of tomato sauce leak, and it wasn't expired yet. And it's just gotten too hard to get down on the floor. LOL I'm glad you have found so many useful items, it will help with your challenge!

[@Joy-v3e5r]

I’m 60 and it’s not the getting down on the floor but the getting up!!!😂😂

[@cathyb3790]

Yes I have always put my pantry items in higher cabinets and inventory sheets on my freezers I also put items I occasionally use in bottom cabinets like appliances,,,thats quite a stock pile Granny 😊❤ love the video

[@sharonhart3735]

Lot of goodies in that cabinet .

[@afdraftsrmandy3176]

It's always fun finding treasures as we clean out! I use baskets to corral things I use together.

[@dorisdonnelly9669]

It’s amazing what you find when you clean your food closet . It’s also amazing how you can still get on and off the floor. I’m 71 and can’t get off the floor anymore.

I recently cleaned out my small pantry because so much got stuffed in it since Thanksgiving. I found all sorts of goodies that needed to get used up! I took all those things out and put them on my island to use up. The pantry is nice and neat now and will likely stay that way until next Thanksgiving.😂 I just found you this morning and subscribed right away. Great video!

[@keepitsimple2593]

I love watching people rearrange their cabinets for some reason or just clear yourself out or whatever I don't know why it's so fascinating I would love it if you would film when you either restock this pantry the way you want it and move stuff around or when you go to clean out a different one.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Granny I think your house is beautiful so cozy Love watching you 🙏🏻✝️☮️💐🌹🍀💗

[@kidscowsandsweettea8292]

It's amazing what can be found! I discovered several cans of diced tomatoes and a salsa mix, so I am going to make my own salsa this week rather than buying some.

[@ksewald91]

I had a really deep corner cabinet before in a previous home. At some point we remodelled and put a turntable in that corner. It was always a pain as it swallowed up stuff. Great hiding spot for the grandkids, they loved it. At 71, getting on the floor is not a good idea. A real challenge to get up again.

[@bettyir4302]

The getting up and down was worrying me the entire time.

[@silentnot4812]

I just buy a week’s worth or so of food that is mainly fresh produce and meat. I don’t buy anything to store in the pantry. I eat everything I have before I go to the store again. My parents were always buying stuff on sale. They just sold their house so we had to clean out all their food. The chest freezer was full of food as were the shelves. We threw most of it away because it was several years old especially the frozen food. They were always running to the store too because they “had nothing to eat”. I don’t understand buying all of this food “on sale” and then not even using it. I used to waste some food, but finally figured out how to not overbuy and waste food.

[@kimedmonson3134]

Oh please don't leave your cabinets empty or you might be doing without during a crisis. Be wise and store up essentials ❤

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Always keep, at least a few days, of extra food on hand in case of emergencies. As I type, I'm thinking about all the people who have been in (and still are today) disaster situations across the USA. Snow & Ice storms, hurricanes, wildfires and the history of earthquakes, civil unrest, pandemic and more that have caused all sorts of issues. At least keep a few cans of soup and a manual can opener, in case whatever is most likely in your area happens. Begging from your neighbor may not work, as they may also be depending on other people, as well.

[@paisleydreamzz]

Brr too cold to be sitting on the floor up here in Wisconsin. Does need to be done, maybe next month :))

[@sallydunbar1683]

Great idea on a cold day! We have had a stretch of below 0° plus wind chills here in Indiana! It might get above 30° this weekend! I use my reacher to get spices out up high. Ladders aren't good to me! 😂 Have a great day Granny! ❤

[@connieb6841]

The house I lived in many years ago had a roll out middle shelf built into the cabinets. My current home does not have that and oh boy how I miss them. My dream is to be able to redo my current kitchen and have those type of cabinets again but during the meantime whenever I clean out a bottom cabinet I use one of those single-step folding step stools to sit on. Not quite as difficult to get up from it as it is the floor 😂😂.

[@texasmimi5566]

Attitude I have about anything in my house now, after downsizing 3 times, is "use it or lose it". I also no longer buy ahead. I wait until I am using the last jar, can, bag or something before adding it to my grocery list. Why pay today's money, that is always needed today, for things I won't be using for some other time in the future? Attitude, it's all about attitude.

[@dianeeyestone2040]

At the rate things sre going, the food will be more expensive in the future. Also, very likely, there will be a lot of shortages of food.

The great thing about canned meat is that you don't lose it if you have a long power outage. I need to take inventory of my fridge freezer & clean it out today. It's 16° this morning. It's finally supposed to get above freezing today, though. This kind of cold is not normal for Tennessee!😮

Feels good to get things like cabinets and closets cleaned our and reorganized. It would be too difficult for me to have food stored in such a low cabinet. Our kitchen has a pantry (closet) so that is really nice. Other wise I would choose an upper cabinet to store food .

[@AmberKonkel-q9n]

You make me smile granny if i was closer i would try to assist you more with things

[@mizg1595]

I saved sheets of packing foam, some 1inch thick, some 1/2 inch. I used them to add a layer of insulation to the back of sink cabinets with outside walls. Had to cut smaller pieces to slide behind the plumbing. Getting down on the floor was the hardest part!

The kitchen cabinets in my house are not as big as yours, they won’t hold that much as you have. I already organized my cabinets. My sister and I bought 2 cabinets with shelves and we put it in a room and we have bought groceries just in case of a hurricane or an emergency. Get warm and stay well. ❤ Keep organizing

[@terryjanney7372]

I have a large pantry. Try to organize stuff I use regular up so I CAN reach it

[@ASaltyGurl]

This is what I'm doing as we speak, organizing my pantry/kitchen, and its a mess. I've been at this since December, taking each space on a daily basic. I'm throwing stuff away, purging item I no longer use and making it easier to get to. I'm older and no ladders for me, I do have a step ladder. It will be so much better when you get it organized. I use Dollar tree baskets to organize, I buy a few each month. It is however, hard on knees and bums.☺️

Just wondering how to keep the rice in the jars ,any certain way to can it ? Please

[@morningswithgranny7789]

I dry canned mine.

[@judimantos904]

Perhaps as an older person, it would make more sense to keep canned food on a more reachable hight in an upper cabinet + keep pots+ pans or cleaning supplies in that cabinet. One of these days, you might not be able to get up from the floor!

[@morningswithgranny7789]

I have an upper cabinet with food for day to day use. The bottom cabinet is overflow I pull from. Thanks for watching

[@michellejennings3232]

Oh, that makes sense that it is your overflow cabinet. I was thinking the same thing- move some larger objects down low where it is easier to grab when needed and move the food supply up to an easier to access level. Fourteen degrees is just reeeeediculous!!😊​@morningswithgranny7789

Hello 👋 pretty lady🌹🌹how are you doing today and the weather condition like?

[@enlightenedbygrace4U]

You should check at least twice a year if not 3 times a year and rotate what’s old to use up first. I wish I knew how much you knew about caning flour and beef

[@rusticgardenretreat4892]

I am pushing off the food storage cabinet until next month. The garage must be dealt with first.

[@bettyir4302]

Having to use a bottom cabinet is such a waste because many times you can't get to items in the back of the bottom so you either have to crawl in (ha!) or cut out half the upper shelf so that gets wasted. Is there a clothing closet you could add shelves to for food storage? Or thrift or a facebook free for the taking locally where you might find a cabinet? Cheap idea is to cover the inside of glass doors with cut to fit garbage bags to hide what's inside. Lazy susans are great to keep tall spice jars on or stackable ones for small jars so it is just a spin to see what's what. An open wire hanging basket with several baskets works to keep bags of potato chips, choc chips, nuts or a baggie with koolaid packets and again easy to see through. I measured out sticky hooks on the inside of my small floor to ceiling pantry door to hold sweetener bags and baggies of tea - just use a hole punch in the sealed top of bags to hang them up. We're having veg soup on hopefully the last freezing night. I'd saved the liquids from rehydrated mushrooms, rehydrated potatoes and thawed frozen mixed vegs this week. Tossed in two small sad potatoes, the last squash, the last of a diced onion, some frozen chopped carrots, bell pepper and celery. On a wild hair, added the last 1/4 C homemade pickled vegs, scraped out the last homemade tomato tartar and bay sauces and added some homemade jalapeno yogurt. LOL, it isn't bad at all!

[@Lorreyla]

Is there any way you could use that cabinet for kitchen linens ,cookware or rarely used appliances and move the food to where you can see it and keep track of it better? I know for myself if its out of sight its out of mind. Plus as I get older the appeal of crawling on the floor and worse getting back up is gone. lol

[@irenek2k20]

I have ny spices near stove onkazy susan A- L & 2nd M- Z keeps them organized. Tip - least use items in kitchen in farthest soace or cabinet . Make Paper Inventory of items in cabinets so you know exactly what you got & when canned or expired.

[@Lorreyla]

Me too. I recently got multi level lazy susans that fit right in the corner of my counters. Now I can see and reach everyone of them.

[@sandyz3466]

Hi Granny, thank you for sharing, I’ve been doing the same organizing my pantry on these old days. It’s -22f over here in Ontario Canada the past few days so inside as much as possible 🥶! Would it be possible to show us how you can things sometime? Hope all is well with you.
